Carlos Brathwaite is best known for hitting four consecutive sixes against Ben Stokes in the ICC World T20 2016 final at the Eden Gardens, thus leading his team to a famous win over England. Few months later, with only eight T20 Internationals under his belt, he was named West Indies' T20I captain. He replaced Darren Sammy, who was left out of the squad for the two-match series against India in Florida.

Born in Barbados, Brathwaite first came into the limelight in his debut first-class season in 2011. He had a fantastic debut match against Trinidad and Tobago as he took 7/90 in the second innings of the match.

Brathwaite showed great consistency that season, snaffling 26 wickets in eight first-class games. He was rewarded for his performances with a place in the national team for the Bangladesh tour later that year.

He made his international debut in Dhaka, in a T20I against Bangladesh on October 2011. In fact, his ODI debut came only a week later against the same opposition. He was left out of the national squad after that, though, with no substantial contribution in those two games and his next call came about three years later.

A decent 2014-15 season earned him a place in the West Indies squad that traveled to South Africa in January 2015, but he couldn't make it to the World Cup squad that followed right after. Brathwaite was named in the West Indies' Test and ODI squads for the tour of Sri Lanka in October-November 2015.

His Test debut came against Australia in Melbourne later that year. A bowling all-rounder, Brathwaite registered bowling figures of 0/109 but then went on to score a gutsy 59 at No.8, following it up with a more fluent 69 off 71 balls in the rain-affected drawn Sydney Test.

During the 2016 IPL auctions, he was bought by Delhi Daredevils for Rs. 4.2 crore, which was way more than his listed base price of Rs. 30 lac.

Brathwaite's form has dipped since his famous 10-ball 34 against England in Kolkata but he continues to be a big part of Windies' plans going ahead.

Brathwaite was sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 2 crore in the 2018 IPL auctions.
